THE DEAD BOY BROUGH TO LIFE : Shri Satyapriya Who was present there determined to disprove the unfounded belief of the poor lady. He prdered the corpse to be brought on the Paduka of Krishna. Within minutes, he brought the boy back to life. The joy of the parents knew no bounds. They fell at the feet of Swamiji and prayed for his Anugraha. TEMPLE DOOR OPENS ON PRAYER : Shri Satyapriya Teertharu oncew visited Melkote Shri Yoga Narashima Swami Temple at the hills. He was late and the Temlpe door was closed. Shri Satyapriya Teertharu stood in front of the main door and poured out his heart in praise of Lord Shri Narshima and gently touched the door. to thesurprise of all, the door opend of its own accord.The bells rang and it was also seen Arthi going on to the Load in the Mool a Sthaana. Shri Satyapriya Teertharu had good Darshan of Yoga Narasima Swami, and tears of Ananda rolled down his cheeks. GHAN SHYAM KAVI BECAME A DWAITI: During the period od Shri Satyapriya Teertharu , there was a reputed Kavi in North India, by name Ghan shyam Kavi . He had Written more then 100 drams in Sanskri. He was also considered an authority in Adwaita Vendanta and Sahitya literature as well. He was as eye-witness to the vast learing of Shri Satyapriya Teertharu , of his humility , majesty, and power of expression in high lighting the truth hidden in various Vedic Texts.Hearing the unbiased and highly thoughtful words of Shri Sataypriya Teertharu , the said Kavi,being a very impartial Pandit, offered himself as a Sishya to Swamiji and had to Mudra Dharana. PRACHANDA RAAHOODAYAM: the said Kavi also worte a Drama "Prachanda Raahoodayam" in five chapter in which Shri SatyaPriya Teertharu has been Shown as the hero. In this work , the doctrines of Dwaita, Adwaita and other Scools of thoughts have been discussed and finaly "VIJAYA" embraces the hero. Shri Satyapriya Teertharu. JAYA STHAMBHA ( VICTORY PILLAR ): It was customary in those days at Kasi to ercet a pillar as a symbol denoting the Victory, inscribing the details of victory on such pillars. the pillar erected establishing the vitroy of Shri Satyapriya Teertharu was a bit too high. Shri Ghan Shyam Kavi has described in the said Drama that it was no wonder. Because the Sun and Moon during their journey may like to have a little stop - over for rest . The pillar erected in memory of Shri Satyapriya Teertharu victory can be used by them. Such was the admiration for Shri Satyapriya Teertharu learing and the deep Bhakti he hand towards him. Vide the verses quoted in Tamil Version of His "Life Sketch" (" Prachanda Raahoodaya") THIEVES RETURN THE STOLEN POOJA BOX: After Completing his pilgmage to Rameshwaram. Shri Satyapriya Teertharu came to Mamamadurai. In those days , the area was dense forest . one day Thieves attacked the Mutt and stole away the Pooja box, jewaels and also the bell ( the Pooja Ghanta ). This Pooja bell was monted with Srr Hanuma Figure, as usually seen everywhere. One can imagine the Rama-Pratima kept in the Pooja Box. He poured out his heart's paryers to Shri Hanuman expressing that without his grace, no one could perform Rama Pooja anywere, at any time . He ceaselessly went on singing the glories of load Shri Hanuma. A Miracle happend . In a short while , the Thieves were shovcked to see several wild monkeys springing out one after from the Mutt's Pooja ghanta. In Huge numbers , they made a bell by their wild screaming and frighteng gestures. The thieves were terribly afraid. They came running to ShriSatyapriya Teertharu , placed all the stolen atricles before him and begged him that they be accepted his servents. From that time, the place was called Veera Vanara Madurai Later it was called as Vana Madurai and finaly became MANAMADURAI THE MISCHIEF OF THE KING EXPOSED: The King who ruled over the area at that time came to know about the glories of Shri Satyapriya Teertharu. But he had neither faith nor regard for the penance and spiritual poweras of the Shri Satyapriya Teertharu. One day , he played a mischief with Swamiji. He offered 'things' for Pooja in three plates all the three fully coverd . he had kept mutton in one plate , dried fish in the other and blood in the third plate. he placed him to accept them for his Pooja. he was polite in his outward appearance but was highly arrogant inside and with utter disregard for Shri Satyapriya Teertharu. Shri Satyapriya Teertharu was quick in visualising the true colour of the Royal visitor. He only pitied the king and pleaded to the Lord Shri Ramachandra to pardon the king. But the Lord indicated that the king would he excused only partialiy and not in full. In the meanwhile the king felt he was losing the eye sight in one eye. He fell at the feet of Swamiji and begged him to save atlest the other eye. Which Shri Satyapriya Teertharu granted.thereupon Shri Satyapriya Teertharu sprinkled Shanka - Teertha with Tulasi on the three plates and asked the king to open them. to the utter surprise of all , the blood turned to be "Aarati" the dried fish into small stones and the mutton into sandal paste. No wonder that the arrogant king became a devout Bhakta to Shri Satyapriya Teertharu . He donated three Villages and one of them was Chandanoor. He also donated one hundred acres of Nanja lands and executed a copper - plate Saasana to that effect. In this way, the King atoned his sins and rendered himself deserving for the grace and blessings of Shri Satyapriya Teertharu. HIS LAST DAYS: It is customary to reverntially touch the feet of Shri Moola Rama Pratima by Shri Satyapriya Teertharu every day at the completion of Pooja and Prior to placing the same in the box. One day. it so happend that when Swamiji was doing so, he felt the presence of Shri Ramacndra and tender . Shri Satyapriya Teertharu took it that the call from Shri Ramachandra had come to him for doing the Pooja eternally in the Divine Kingdom . Shortly afterwards. Shri sAtyapriya Teertharu left his mortal coils at Manamadurai on Chaitra Shuddha Trayodasi in the year 1744 A.D A UNIQUE FEATURE IN THIS BRINDAVAN: One great and extraordinary speciality in the Brindavana At Manamadurai is that the main Brindavanam is not one mere Koormaasana as usually seen elsewhere. On the Koormasana, there is a sprial snake .(Ajagara=Sanke) and on this, the Brindavan is embedded. It is also the belife inthe orthodaxcircles. ADORATION BY Shri SATYADHRMA TeertharuRU: Shri Satyadrama Teertharu was the 4th Pitadhipathi 53 years after Shri Satyapriya Teertharu.

The Managalakaraka symbol SWASTIK resembles Sri Hanuman On Chaitra Shukla Purnima, i.e., the full moon day of March-April, Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated all over the country. The monkey-God Hanuman is worshipped everywhere in India either alone or together with Lord Rama. Hanuman temples dot the entire length and breath of the country. Every temple dedicated to Rama invariably has an idol of Hanuman. In other temples also Hanuman is found installed. Yatra Yatra Raghunatha KeerthanaM Tatra Tatra Krutamasa KanjaliM Bhashpa vaari paripoorNa LochanaM Maarutim Namata RaakshasaantakaM !! The birth anniversary of Hanuman, the son of the wind-god Marut and Anjana Devi, is celebrated with great religious fevour. people visit the Hanuman Shrines, observe strict fast, offer prayers and Puja, and read the Ramayana and the Hanuman Chalisa. On the occasion the idols of Hanuman is given a new coat of vermilion mixed with clarified butter and then richly decorated. Fairs are also held at some places near the shrines and charities done. Hanuman is one of the greatest embodiments of strength, speed, agility, learning and selfless service to Lord Rama. He could fly at the speed of wind, uproot mountains and trees assume any size and shape at will and make himself invisible. In battlefield he was a terrifying figure, as colossus as a mountain, as tall as a tower and ever invincible. His face is red like ruby, his yellow skin and coat shines like molten gold and his mighty tail is of immense length. he shattered the enemies in the battlefield with his fierce roar. he is immortal, and this immortality was granted to him by Rama to serve the devotees in distress. His great adventures have been described in great detail and with much reverence and delight in the Ramayana. He is living embodiment of Nishkam Karmayoga [Nishkam Karmayoga,Anyaayakke Pratibhatane ,Achala dhairya, Atula Saahasa Muntaada guNagaLuLLa Sri Hanumanata Devarannu Poojisuvaru], love, sincerity and ram-nam, Rama and hanuman are inseparable. His celibacy is of the highest order and he did things which were almost impossible for others for the sake of love of Lord Rama. On Hanuman Jayanti people observe fast, meditate on him and his Lord Rama, practice charity, read the Hanuman Chalisa and spend the day in repeating his glories and adventures and be blessed. "We bow to Hanuman, who stand with his palms folded above his forehead, with a flood of tears flowing down his cheeks wherever the Names of Lord are sung."

VAISHAKHA SNANA (ritual bath in the month of Vaishaka) (as indicated by Rayar Mutt) We have published two articles about ritual baths that devotees should undertake during certain holy periods in the calendar. A similar practice should be observed while taking the VaishAka ritual bath. During VaishAka mAsa all the tIrthAbhimAni devatas (celestial beings who are the patron deities of holy rivers and other tIrthas) are present in full force in their respective tIrthas (river, lake, stream, rivulet etc) in the early hours of dawn.

The mantras to be chanted at various stages in the bath are given below: Permission from KshetrapAla: The following mantra should be chanted in order to obtain permission from Bhairava (the celestial guarding the tIrtha) for bathing in the tIrtha: “atitIkshNa mahAkAya kalpAntadahanOpama.

Please grant me permission.) Permission from the Lord: The following mantra should be chanted in order to obtain permission from the Lord before dipping into the water: “samasta jagadAdhAra shankachakragadAdhara | dEva dEhi mAmanugnAm yuShmatIrthanivEShaNE” (“You are the foundation for the entire universe. You carry the conch, discus and mace. O Lord please grant me permission to bathe in this tIrtha which belongs to you”). sankalpa (resolution) The following sankalpa (resolution) should be chanted before getting into the water: Adya bhramaNah dvitIya parArdhE shrI shvEtavarahAkalpe vaivasvata manvantarE aShTavimshati tame kaliyugE prathama charaNe bharatavarShE jambUdvIpE danDakAraNyE dEshE gOdAvaryAh dakshiNE tIrE shAlIvAhana shake bouddhAvatArE rAmakshEtrE asmin vartamAne shrI … (V I K R U T I ) samvatsarE, uttarAyaNE, vasantaRutou chaitra vaishAkha mAs(shukla/krishNa)pakshE, … tithou shrImadrAghavendra guruvantargata bhAratIramaNa mukhyaprANAntargata iShTadEvata kuladEvatAtmaka sItApatI shrImanmUlarAmchandrAbhinnna shrI bhUvarAha prEraNeya shrI bhUvarahAprItyartham asyAm mahAnadyAm pUrvavAhinyAm samastatIrthAbhimAnadEvatA sannidhou – sAligrAma chakrAnkita sannidhou vaishAkhasnAnam aham karishyE” Next, arghyA should be offered to the Lord with the following mantra: Argya to Lord MadhusUdana: Namah kamalnAbhAya namastE jalashAyinE | NamastEstu hRUShIkEsha gRuhANArghyam namOstutE || VaishAkhe mEShagE bhAnou prAtah snAnaparAyaNa | Arghyam tEaham pradAsyAmi gRuhANa madhusUdana || Madhuhamtu prasAdEna BraahmaNaanaam Anugrahaat Nirvignamastu mE PuNyaM VaishAkha SNANAMAnwahaM !!
